A small penthouse apartment in the center of Santa Flavia which can host up to three people. This holiday letting has an indoor living area of 50 m² and a spacious outdoor terrace of 130 m² on two levels.

A part of the outdoor accommodation (15 m²) is located above the living area, and offers stunning panoramic views of the sea, the mountain ranges of the Madonie and the archaeological site of Solunto that is just a few miles away. This upper terrace offers private space for sun worshippers as well as great views, and it is furnished with two comfortable sun beds. Since this terrace is higher than all the surrounding houses, there is never any shade and you are invisible to the neighbours.

The huge lower terrace also offers opportunities to soak up some winter sun and enjoy your meals outside. It is relatively sheltered and offers sunny spots throughout the day. This is not the only reason holiday letting Casa Enza is ideal for winter holidays: it has an excellent, modern floor-mounted heating system, unlike the usual Sicilian air-conditioning units which are mounted near the ceiling and heat the rooms from above.

An entrance hall with a large wardrobe/closet leads you to the kitchen, bathroom and living room. The living room has two glazed walls making it similar to a winter garden and from this room you have a unique view of the important archaeological site of Solunto. With a high quality sofa bed, the living room can be transformed into a second bedroom. The master bedroom contains a four-poster bed with white drapery which doubles up as a mosquito net. It is framed by pink walls and a very large wardrobe which can store suitcases as well as clothes.

The holiday letting is on the 2nd floor of a well-maintained apartment building. Santa Flavia is a well-to-do, „middle class“ neighbourhood and the apartment is located in a very safe area. Just a few hundred meters away there are shops, bars, restaurants and the train station with excellent connection to Palermo. This means you can easily stay at Casa Enza and travel around Sicily without renting a car.

Like all our holiday lettings, “Casa Enza” has been renovated and furnished with great care.

By the way: Like all offers from Solemar-Sicilia, Casa Enza belongs to the association “ADDIOPIZZO” and is therefore one of the antimafia accommodations in the area.

Santa Flavia – A hidden treasure on the outskirts of Palermo

Off the tourist routes but worthy of any guide book, this quintessentially Sicilian little town is an undiscovered jewel. A quiet, well maintained residential neighbourhood served by a railway station in the centre of town, Santa Flavia is the ideal base for those who want to discover the real Sicily without renting a car.

In twenty minutes you can be in historic Palermo, and within an hour you can be running your toes through the fine golden sand of one of the most beautiful beaches on the whole island, in Cefalù.

In lively and welcoming Santa Flavia, everything you need is close at hand. The smell of fresh bread and coffee is everywhere throughout the day, and for fruit and vegetables you don’t even have to leave your house – experience the timeless charm of buying succulent, locally grown produce from grocers who weave through the streets and alleys of town bringing their delicious fare direct to your door.

With its sister town of Porticello, Santa Flavia forms the second largest fishing port in Sicily. Every day you can try your hand at preparing a new fish dish with the most freshly caught fare money can buy. If you’re not an expert in the kitchen, the town is packed with wonderful fish restaurants to cater to every palate.
